Bobby, another down to earth review. Love your analysis of the passengers seating positions, boss in the front passenger seat...etc😊. Yes, Madza car philosophy as you mentioned is NOT for all. One needs to appreciate it. This Cx30 is somewhat overpriced for a rather small SUV & NA engine. Yes cabin appears to have quality materials but conservative 😢. My personal view, I would take your last words on Omoda 5 you recently reviewed...."just buy"..."just " buy" over this Cx30.....having watched both videos plus listening to your comments closely, Bobby 😊
Very good review, better than everything I watched on UA-cam. You are right about Mazda being stubborn and cheaping out, the paint chips, the battery dies quickly, and the seats they now use are rock hard without proper lumbar support. But they still have an overall good quality. The reason they do this is that they are a small manufacturer and don't have a big budget for both R&D and top of the line parts. The new models like CX 50/60/70/90 havr very high quality parts but the price of the cars went up so much.
Bobby exactly my thoughts too. Yes stubborn car manufacturer. Only those car enthusiasts understand them. Unfortunately their target market are small. Honda and Toyota designed cars according to what the mass market want such as spacious and practicality. Mazda designed cars where many don't realize how much effort they have put in. Now the Chinese just throw in everything whether you want it or not.
Agreed Bob. They should have kept the multi link though. Even if the torsion beam might work as well, there's just that feeling in the mind that a multi link should be it. There's imagination there's something missing.
Very in depth review Bobby. A car worth 160k with limited equipment inside the car in 2023 is not acceptable. I will buy the Chery Omoda for my wife and see how it goes in 3 years. If it's reliable within 3 years, i might buy another Chinese car since there are a lot of other brands will come in.
No choice bro. Japan and Europe are anjing Amerika. All anjing are suffering bad inflation because they sanctioned Russia. Now their economy collapse and their cost of manufacturing is sky high. However in China costs of manufacturing is super low
Actually no. Mazda has touch screens but you can only touch when the car is stationary. Touch is automatically disabled when moving. Not having touch screen at all is plainly cost cutting. The nicer way to put it would be the screen placement is further away so touch is inconvenient.
recently sold my CBU 2018 cx3 model. is reliable, letting it go for extra money for my new car, if not i wouldn't sell. mazda sc also good. CBU models always better than CKD
Love Mazda too..but i feel that product are getting a lil boring.. & Cx-5 badly needs a facelift.. Cx30 is stil alright.. The New Cx-60 is so good looking but im sure its 200k++ CX30 can really do away with that big rubber cladding on the outside..Tbh
This is Remarkable..Love your work sir......I've never forgotten your funny review while driving a 2017 sienta with your colleague on how Malaysians drive vs how Japanese drive........much love from Kenya Bro
I had similar rattling sound in my M3 coming from the infotainment dashboard area.. SC said it's from the loose fitting dashboard parts? added some sponge layers will fix it
This was a good ride for me as a driver, but when I took it out for a test drive and swapped driving with my partner & sat behind, I felt that it was too bumpy. So not sure how is the dampening & absorbers for the rear is done. Wasn't to my liking, such a shame but I think it was it nice car for daily use.
Thank you for the review of Mazda CX-30 and you are right. I also have the same thought. Hope Mazda can survive in the market. Mazda car are nice to drive and good handling as I used to owned Mazda 3 2015.
To be honest, I rather have more physical knob or button than a touchscreen that controls everything, that alone will convince me to go for Mazda, it's sad to see that no other cars brand like Toyota and Honda doing the same thing, even Mercedes entry-level cars are not using their trackpad anymore, I wish more people would appreciate ergonomics and convenience instead of put everything into one touch screen with the lousy seats design and dashboard
11:14 alot of the middle income family members are proton perodua then honda toyota then mazda lexus only 1 goes conti but everybody drives a hilux and a vios maybe a myvi or persona but thats pretty much it maybe a few cx5 here and there a few corolla cross or innova. I am still waiting to see who will be the first to buy ev 😂
You cna be stubborn when you beat everyone in everything. Mazda is brilliant like imagine Motorola is stubborn. Quite good in something, low sales and stubborn with what they're good at
U buy a Mazda, a Honda , a Toyota or even any VWs or BMWs even if u are nit a car guy u jolly know what u be getting into but if u buy some Chery or Haval or MG u be wondering what have u get into. I rather buy something that " i know" that something that " i think i know"
Cool video bobby....am still happy that my wife is still keeping her 2016 Mazda 6 2.5 touring..still love it.....zoom zoom rocks
your usual style of reviewing is still very much more pleasing to watch =D ...love the thumbnail hehe
Bobby! You made a mistake.Throw in the towel means giving up. Throw down the gauntlet means to challenge.

The joke about the rear seats…I can personally vouch to that HAHAHA
So proud of owning this model and driving a Mazda
Hello from a fellow CX-30 owner. Big fan of this car, it drives beautifully
Same, but it will be more perfect if it have the 2.5 liter engine option in malaysia, 2.0 is a bit of powerless for me
If they had a 2.5T variant I would get it immediately

You call it stubborn? Have a look at suzuki how outdated it is. Mazda takes minimalist approach. Less is more! P. S. Yes, I'm biased cx-30 owner

Everyone bows to the CCP sooner or later

Thumbnail said it all. Its a rm160k jdm purosango
awesome design CX 30..
Love Mazda too..but i feel that product are getting a lil boring.. & Cx-5 badly needs a facelift.. Cx30 is stil alright.. The New Cx-60 is so good looking but im sure its 200k++
CX30 can really do away with that big rubber cladding on the outside..Tbh
Love that lunch colleagues seating arrangements😂😂😂
One of the best car reviewer in MY, he really know what he talk about
This is Remarkable..Love your work sir......I've never forgotten your funny review while driving a 2017 sienta with your colleague on how Malaysians drive vs how Japanese drive........much love from Kenya Bro
Lolz. That orange sienta
@@semileongyap
The rattling sound is probably from the centre console. Once you rest your elbow on the lid, it goes away.
I had similar rattling sound in my M3 coming from the infotainment dashboard area.. SC said it's from the loose fitting dashboard parts? added some sponge layers will fix it
Ya same as mine, is from the head up display 😅
can i know what exactly the "span Layer" thing? Thanks
This was a good ride for me as a driver, but when I took it out for a test drive and swapped driving with my partner & sat behind, I felt that it was too bumpy. So not sure how is the dampening & absorbers for the rear is done. Wasn't to my liking, such a shame but I think it was it nice car for daily use.
The rattle is due to design and the material gap where they don’t foam it, CBU CKD sama, guess it’s our weather can’t make the plastic panels to cope
is there anyway to solve it? Its kinda annoying to be honest to hear those rattling sound.
The rattling sound is from the center armrest box.
Nope, i think is head up display (active driving display) mine also the same 😅
@@klkl1279 Yup, have the same rattling on my Mazda 3, the plastic cover of the HUD it is and cannot do anything.
Bobby, when u are describing seating of boss and colleague. I recall bengtures video on cx30. Haha😂
Thank you for the review of Mazda CX-30 and you are right. I also have the same thought. Hope Mazda can survive in the market.
Mazda car are nice to drive and good handling as I used to owned Mazda 3 2015.
Agreed with all the comments by Bobby Ang. Japanese car maker, please wake up. Chinese car makers will destroy all your products.
i like mazda too ..
My Mazda 3 also have that sounds, anyone know what's that?
it's funny bobby picked up an irritating rattle during his test drive! such is ckd quality i guess
Bobby, suggestion ?New cx30 or a used 2021 mazda6 at 40k mileage?
"not bad, but sucks! in 2023" my new quote
Love mazda too, but i think they need to focus on their variety, its simply too much for their scale. Perhaps a business model similiar to Volvo.
Dont worry, Malaysia has P1 and P2 to protect Japanese car indirectly, they could survive less harder in our country comparatively speaking
in a free market, Toyota/daihatsu (perodua) or Proton(geely) beaten Mazda.
Mazda ideology speaks to me but currently I'm still too poor to own one
The way you drive seriusly hooligan…..
Great review as usual, Bobby. Btw what do you think of this compared to a Hyundai Kona?
Bobby, what is your height ? I am 173cm and i find it it was not that comfortable to get in the driving seat !
He’s 180+.
Is the car too lowered? The bang sound after that hump, really scares me
That's the shocks retracting, not the car hitting something
I click in not because of Ferrari but because of CX30
why r u sitting so closed to the steering?
To be honest, I rather have more physical knob or button than a touchscreen that controls everything, that alone will convince me to go for Mazda, it's sad to see that no other cars brand like Toyota and Honda doing the same thing, even Mercedes entry-level cars are not using their trackpad anymore, I wish more people would appreciate ergonomics and convenience instead of put everything into one touch screen with the lousy seats design and dashboard
Is it can bus or not?
If I have 160k budget now, I’ll go for either a used X1/3 or brand new Peugeot 3008
6:24 if you go further out kl you can find so many landed semi d for 1.5m or less
Did i miss bobby explain about the rear suspension of cx30? How good it is?
Bobby there is one more usb port inside armrest 😅
11:14 alot of the middle income family members are proton perodua then honda toyota then mazda lexus only 1 goes conti but everybody drives a hilux and a vios maybe a myvi or persona but thats pretty much it maybe a few cx5 here and there a few corolla cross or innova. I am still waiting to see who will be the first to buy ev 😂
compare to hrv, which one is better ?
Space: Hrv
Everything else: Cx30❤
So the Mazda is just as stubborn as Apple
You cna be stubborn when you beat everyone in everything. Mazda is brilliant like imagine Motorola is stubborn. Quite good in something, low sales and stubborn with what they're good at
If china car maker care about after sale service..bye2 japan car..
nope, still cannot beat japanese car in r&d, performance, and confidence in japanese manufacturing
bobby my man you need a better mic
Rattling sound ...where is it coming from....maybe due to poor quality material😂
That's why car makers give warranties. A car is more complex to build than a house in a way
I go chung kuo car. Practikal
krik...krik..krik....😆
U buy a Mazda, a Honda , a Toyota or even any VWs or BMWs even if u are nit a car guy u jolly know what u be getting into but if u buy some Chery or Haval or MG u be wondering what have u get into. I rather buy something that " i know" that something that " i think i know"
